Daniel Sibony est de passage a Tel-Aviv lorsque les fusees attaquent la ville. Il livre ici ses impressions et ses pensees. Les roquettes lui rappellent, en plus violent, les pierres qu'il recevait enfant, a Marrakech, dans la medina. Il retrouve sa serenite d'alors, cette force ou l'on a en soi, presque en meme temps, la detresse et la joie de vivre, et ou l'on peut se sentir attaque sans etre detruit. D'ailleurs, non loin de la, une institutrice a innove ; lors des alertes, elle fait entonner aux enfants des chansons nouvelles : J'ai peur, j'ai peur, mon cA ur fait boum-boum, on doit courir aux abris. Cette chronique ecrite au cA ur du conflit s'accompagne de reflexions inedites sur le djihad, les rapports entre l'islam et l'Occident, le conflit du Proche-Orient. La solution que Daniel Sibony propose se formule comme un paradoxe : la paix ne viendra que de la paix. Ce qui seul pourra affronter le grand malentendu. i Daniel Sibony est psychanalyste et ecrivain ; l'arabe est sa langue maternelle et il connait aussi bien le Coran que la Bible et le Talmud. Il est l'auteur d'une quarantaine d'ouvrages dont Islam, phobie, culpabilite, De l'identite a l'existence, Don de soi ou Partage de soi, Lectures bibliques.

Joseph Massad’s Islam in Liberalism explores what Islam has become in today’s world, with full attention to the multiplication of its meanings and interpretations. He seeks to understand how anxieties about tyranny, intolerance, misogyny, and homophobia, seen in the politics of the Middle East, are projected onto Islam itself. Massad shows that through this projection Europe emerges as democratic and tolerant, feminist, and pro-LGBT rights—or, in short, Islam-free. Massad documents the Christian and liberal idea that we should missionize democracy, women’s rights, sexual rights, tolerance, equality, and even therapies to cure Muslims of their un-European, un-Christian, and illiberal ways. Along the way he sheds light on a variety of controversial topics, including the meanings of democracy—and the ideological assumption that Islam is not compatible with it while Christianity is—women in Islam, sexuality and sexual freedom, and the idea of Abrahamic religions valorizing an interfaith agenda. Islam in Liberalism is an unflinching critique of Western assumptions and of the liberalism that Europe and Euro-America blindly present as a type of salvation to an assumingly unenlightened Islam.

From antiquity to the Enlightenment, Persian culture has been integral to European history. Interest in all things Persian shaped not just Western views but the self-image of Iranians to the present day. Hamid Dabashi maps the changing geography of these connections, showing that traffic in ideas about Persia did not travel on a one-way street.
